Roommates (A Maximum Ride Fanfic)

...5...

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride.

Fang POV

My cheek tingled where Max's lips touch it. I couldn't get her face out of my head. Her big chocolate eyes, her honey blonde, sun streaked hair, her perfectly shaped, pink, lips….. What am I doing? I don't like Max like that. I told myself. I was sitting on the couch at home. I switched on the TV to distract myself.

Max POV

My lips tingled where they touched Fang's cheek. I couldn't get him out of my head. His jet black hair that swooped just across his forehead, his smooth, olive skin, his coal black eyes with gold flecks…. Stop swooning! I told myself. I was watching SNL but I couldn't focus so I turned off the TV and headed to bed.

I woke up the next morning at 8. I got up and changed into some jeans and my blue work polo. I had a job down at my mom's veterinary hospital as a receptionist. I pulled on my lime green converse (in case you haven't noticed I have a little obsession). I brushed my teeth and headed out the door. I stopped at Mickey D's on the way to work. I ate my breakfast sandwich in the car.

Being a receptionist was not as busy as you may think. I only saw three scheduled appointments for today. Sitting in the chair at my desk I filled out the information I needed to, and sat there waiting for the first appointment to show up. The appointment wasn't until 10:30 and it was only about 10:00 so I started to play a game. I got past the first 30 seconds of Robot Unicorn Attack (A/N I love that game. (: )then I crashed into a star. My game was so distracting I didn't realize that 30 minutes went by.

"Hello?" I heard a voice say to me. I jumped and looked up from the computer screen. A guy with chestnut brown hair and piercing green eyes looked at me. He had a dog on a leash and a smile on his face. The dog was a Chorkie.

"Oh, hi," I said. Wow. Real professional, Max, I told myself mentally. "Are you the 10:30 appointment?"

"Yeah, it's for my sister's dog, Bentley." He said. (A/N I had to put my dog in here! He's just too cute.) I looked down at the Chorkie. He had black fur and a curly tail, with a blonde underside and two blonde patches above his eyes that looked like eyebrows. I guess you could say he looked like a tiny version of a Rottweiler. His head cocked to the side questioningly as he looked up at me. I let out a small laugh because he was just so cute.

"Right this way," I said after checking them into the computer. I lead them to the check up room. (A/N Sorry, no idea what it's called.) My mom was in the room so I left to go to my desk.

About an hour later Sam (That was the guy's name I learned) came out with Bentley in his arms. He smiled down at me and I couldn't help but notice how attractive he was. I smiled back.

"So, Max," He began. "Are you free Friday night?"

"Umm…" I blushed and looked down at my paperwork. "yeah, why?"

"I was just wondering if, maybe, you wanted to catch a movie?" He asked

"Sure," I replied smiling at him. He smiled back and said, "Great, I'll pick you up at 7." then headed out the door.

The rest of the day went slowly. I worked on the computer but couldn't help but notice this bubbling feeling in the pit of my stomach. It almost felt like….guilt. I didn't understand what I was guilty about so I shrugged it off.

At 5, I clocked out and headed home. I then realized Sam didn't know where I lived. As soon as my car pulled into a parking spot I pulled out my phone and texted Sam.

(Max, Sam)

Hey, Sam. It's Max.

Hey, Max! Wuts up?

I realized u don't know where I live. I live in dorm building E of North Community College. Room # 284.

Oh! Thanks! I'm really Xcited 4 our date.

Me 2. Wut movie we seeing?

We can decide at the movie theater.

OK. G2g. Bye.

OK. See you Friday.

I put away my phone and smiled to myself. Sam was so nice, but the guilt still churned on my insides, as if going out with him was a mistake. All these years and my body chooses now to turn on me. I sighed and headed to my dorm room.

A/N I know. You all hate me. Short chapter AND Max is going out with Sam. You didn't think Fang and Max were going to get together that easily, did you? Well, school starts soon so I may not be able to update as often but I will continue with this story! Don't worry I won't give up! I'll try to make next chapter longer. My friend thinks I'm exactly like Max. I don't see it. If you have an opinion based on my AN's, please, say it in a review!
